A kitten was abandoned near a busy intersection in Little Rock, Arkansas during a tornado warning. Fortunately, Sarah Richardson, a local cat rescuer with Community Cats of Central Arkansas, quickly came to the scene after hearing the news and rescued the kitten just in time before it went down a drainage ditch due to record rainfall all night. After briefly examining the kitten, she took it to the vet the following day as it was still in bad shape despite being safe from the storm. It was infested with fleas and parasites and malnourished, indicating that its previous owner did not take care of it. The kitten was estimated to be around 7 weeks old at the time of rescue and was half the weight it should have been at its age, weighing less than a pound. Sarah and her team began treating the kitten for parasites and working on its weight to ensure its recovery.
Journey to Healing Initially, the progress was sluggish, but eventually, he started putting on some weight. Sarah revealed that for about a week, he was aloof and frightened of people. As his health improved, Sarah took it upon herself to rebuild his self-esteem and trust. After his recovery, Sarah’s daughter gave him the name Mr. Whiskers due to his magnificent long whiskers. Unfortunately, Mr. Whiskers still harbored a suspicion of humans, as he had been left on the side of the road. However, Sarah made it her mission to ensure that he would never be let down by people again. Sarah and her family showered Mr. Whiskers with the affection and sympathy he had always merited.
The story is about Mr. Whisker’s journey from being a shy and stressed kitten to becoming a playful and friendly cat. Mr. Whisker’s had a difficult start in life, but Sarah’s care and patience helped him gain trust and confidence. As he grew bigger and healthier, he was introduced to other kittens his own age at a new foster home. Mr. Whisker’s socialized and played with other cats, becoming more outgoing and friendly. Although he no longer feels shy, he still enjoys a calm and relaxed environment.
The story of Mr. Whisker’s has a happy ending as he has learned to trust humans again and is now fond of everyone around him. Unlike most energetic kittens, he prefers snuggling with people, which makes him more lovable. Sarah mentioned that Mr. Whiskers is fully vaccinated and has been neutered, which makes him healthier and more self-assured. He is now eligible for adoption, hoping to find his forever home soon.
